Chicago Herniated Disc

Hinsdale Orthopaedics is widely known as the preeminent leader in delivering quality orthopaedic care to patients throughout the Greater Chicago Metropolitan Region, for the last six decades. The labrum is a rim of soft tissue which surrounds the hip socket. It contributes to the stability of the hip by not only deepening the socket, but by also protecting the joint surface. In the event of a tear, the Labrum can tear. A hip labral tear follows the outside rim of the socket of the top of your hip joint. Its purpose is to serve as a gasket to hold the ball at the top of your thigh bone snuggly within your hip socket. People who are athletes and participate in sports such as hockey, football, soccer, golfing and ballet are at a higher risk of developing a hip labral tear. As a result, whenever Chicago persons require wrist surgery, Hinsdale Orthopaedics is the only name they need to know.

Based upon a patient’s symptoms, a medical professional should easily be able to diagnose a labral tear. Several tests may prove to be beneficial. The initial treatment for a hip labral tear is physical therapy. Physical therapy can help enhance core and lateral strength which may serve to improve the chances for an accurate diagnosis. This may actually decrease the stress on a labral tear. Although this doesn’t “cure” the labral tear, it may cause some patients to feel better. Even though some hip labral tears show no symptoms, once in a while, a person may experience one or more of the following symptoms:

A locking clicking or catching sensation in the hip joint

Pain in the hip or the groin, and/or

Stiffness or limited range of motion in the hip joint

The cause of your labral tear, may be due to:

Trauma

Structural abnormalities, and/or

Repetitive motions
